Since Steve Kent is sitting a few feet away from me, here in Kuala Lumpur, I 
should probably chat with him about this...

The problem is that I'm not sure what to discuss.  His followup note does 
indicate that he has a reasonable and narrow set of concerns.  The real problem 
is that I am not sure what boundaries we -- yam -- have for these kinds of changes.

One argument is that he is suggesting non-normative clarifications.  From that 
standpoint, that seems reasonable to include for yam-related work.

A different argument is that there is, nonetheless, some actual substance to the 
changes and that that is /not/ within scope for yam.

How does the wg feel about this?
